Bently 3500/60 Temperature Monitor

Product Short Description

Technical Specifications

Channels: Six temperature monitoring channels
Input Types: Accepts RTD and TC temperature inputs
Accuracy: Alarm accuracy maintained within 0.13% of the desired value
Isolation: Offers non-isolated and isolated versions (TC isolated version provides 250 Vdc channel-to-channel isolation to prevent external interference)
Alarm Range: Configurable from 0% to 100% of the full-scale measurement range for each monitored value
Operating Temperature Range: -30°C to +65°C (or reduced range when used with certain TC types at higher ambient temperatures)
Software Configuration: Utilizes 3500 Rack Configuration Software for programming and setup
Voting System: Supports Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) configuration with three monitors installed adjacent to each other, using two types of voting to ensure accurate operation and avoid single-point failures

Key Features
